At approximately 1.25am on January 27th 1974 the San Francisco police received an anonymous call saying a man’s body was lying near the water line on Ocean Beach. The police arrived and discovered the caller was telling the truth. It was the start of a reign of terror targeting the LGBT+ community that would leave at least six gay men murdered and many more lives destroyed. They were victims of a rage-fuelled serial killer known as “the Doodler”. Police gave him that moniker because of the way he gained the confidence of the men he murdered. He would hang around gay bars and clubs sketching portraits of his marks. “The Doodler” was never caught but modern day cold case investigators think they know his identity and he is alive and well, still living in the Bay Area.
